It's always recommended to wipe more than once. And I don't recommend installing a ROM through ROM manager.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Astromech:
Short story: Thanks guys. I'm fixed. Scared to restore from Titanium for fear of screwing it up again, but fixed and running smooth. Still getting those stupid texts alerting me of every email.

Long story for posterity: OK having not done this before (properly), I wasn't clear on what all of the above instructions meant, where to find all of those commands, and in what order to do them. I was scared of bricking it somehow through guesswork. So for anyone who might find themselves in the same situation, having screwed up your first attempt at flashing a ROM, or just about to try flashing for the first time, check out this video I found.

It's a step by step of how to flash CyanogenMod to the Incredible 2 using ClockworkMod Recovery, but you can just substitute whatever ROM you want to use instead of Cyanogen. You just need to find the ROM zip file on whatever website it lives, download it to your computer, hook your phone up to the computer in disk drive mode, and dump the zip file on the SD card. You'll load that up later from the phone. Make sure you have the free ROM Manager app installed and that you have hit its top button to flash(install) ClockworkMod Recovery. Then just follow the instructions in the above video, including creating a backup before flashing a new ROM if you haven't already so you can rescue yourself later if needed. (If your phone has Android version 2.3.3 and haven't rooted yet, do that first of course. See this great video and accompanying instructions for how to.)

One thing I noticed in the Cyanogen video (the first one above) is that he says you enter ClockworkMod Recovery by having the phone completely off and then holding the volume down button and the power button down at the same time for a few seconds. This didn't work for me. The phone kept turning on to the regular lock screen as soon as I'd hold down the power button, even if I pressed it after holding down volume. So the other way to get into Recovery is to open ROM Manager and click its second button from the top, "Reboot into Recovery".

The video will walk you through successive steps in ClockworkMod Recovery to create a backup, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, (see iceman's post above for advice on wiping multiple times this way), install the ROM zip from the SD card, and reboot to start your new life under your new ROM. For CyanogenMod, he also covers flashing the Google Apps suite in addition to the Cyanogen ROM zip, but that didn't seem to be necessary in my case when I just flashed the Virtuous Unity ROM.

@astromech

Call Verizon and ask to have the account sync program that was added to your account without your permission removed. That will fix your weird text issue.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
Please don't spread this rumor.

wiping anymore than ONE time is a waste of your time.

it either wipes or it doesn't. doing it twice is straight up OCD!

Maybe I am doing something wrong but I receive a mms video all I get is a slideshow and no audio in the default messenger. In handcent when I play it it is just a single picture with no sound. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Golgotha theskull:

I did the mms fix at the beginning of the thread. Before that I couldn't receive or send any pictures or videos. Now I can send and receive pictures but not videos.

5x5 app drawer http://db.tt/CBF5bsPY

5x4 app drawer http://db.tt/wptM5kGQ

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joshdaboss:
How exactly do you have 3g auto turn on for MMS while on WiFi? Do you simply have WiFi and Mobile on at the same time?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cvo515:
Why is it that the 3g icon is usually gray unless data is being used? This is only ROM I've noticed it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
All Sense ROMs are like that.

---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------

Is it possible to reduce the default 'low' brightness when on autobright? It's always too bright in the dark. Maybe reduce it a few notches.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cvo515:
Really? Only one on this phone I've saw do it. The other ROM was skyraider for the inc1. No other sense ROM I've tried does the 3g icon go grey
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cvo515:
Does anyone know of a full AOSP GB status bar mod for this ROM?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ben805:
yup, it should.

new to Virtious ROM.

OK I finally finished downloading the 427+MB file to get this ROM.

Do I paste the whole file to my SD card?

Can I flash it using Clockwork?

For such a well supported ROM the OP as well as the many links tell me nothing as far as flashing except that it's best to do all the usual wipes.

Any help would be nice thanks...

WOW this is one zippin fast ROM.

I started loading some of the 356 apps i've been running on CM nightlies, and noticed the RAM usage:o...

I don't think I can get by with less than 50% of RAM usage...

So I did a nandroid to check it out later.

It is one SWEET ROM tho. I like the way weather sounds, and the USB connect also.

I look foreward to runnin it again.

Thanks for the help....

Is this rom have support GSM in VietNam? THANKS. And because, my phone must to unlock so after up this rom?.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Just installed...no GSM/wCDMA support in this ROM. Wish it had it though. Perhaps RMK can add it?

If you must have GSM, try SkyRaider Zeus v1.1

Blurtooth Calling

I got an Incredible 2, 2 weeks ago and ran stock for a week then MIUI. Flashed Virtuous Unity a few days ago. I am coming from an Eris and have pretty much been running CM as my daily ROM for at least the last year and a half. So far I really like Unity. I use my phone in the car a lot and can't seem to get voice dialing to work. BT work fine for answering a call and if I place a call using the phone it flips over to the BT headset. If I push the button on the BT headset nothing happens. What am I missing?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bikedogrun:
Two interesting issues with VU 2.39 (which I'm otherwise loving!!! ) :

1.) I use an app called "EZbutton" that allows one to answer calls with a press on vol-up or vol-down. Worked on other android phones and here on the Inc2 with Skyraider Zeus. Simply doesn't work on VU???

I think the Sense 3.0 lockscreen is interfering but on my old OG Inc with a sense 3.0 rom, it works fine. I get calls when outdoors and its too bright to see the screen and the small lockscreen slide-to-answer so this app is quite helpful.

2.) My workout app of choice is MyTracks (Google developer project). Been using it for over a year, also on many other Android phones as well as SkyRaider on the Inc2. Tracks speed/pace/elevation gain etc using the GPS and also provides voice output say every 5/10/30 minutes or 1/2/5 miles etc with your current pace & distance covered.

Well; on VU 2.39 (and 1.35.3 before that) the app works, GPS works and data is captured no problem but - Voice Output is silent/missing??? I've tried everything, concluded (so far) that it must be the rom but can't explain it???

I do want to keep using VU, but this app is very important to me and I need the voice feedback to function. Any thoughts / ideas???

Main reason why I switched from VU 2.39 back to Gingerbang, the front camera was upside down on skype, google talk, tango and few other video calls I have tried. Don't think Skyraider have this problem either.

i'm already on that firmware from your other sense post.

so I don't think thats the fix either.

side note: to those having issues like me, do you have a sim card? (i don't have one)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] johnnnytheboy:
Yeah. Same here. I'm already on that from your Gingersense rom as well. I've been trying since yesterday to get this to boot with no luck at all. I've wiped everything, reformatted my sd card, applied the OC freq patch. Nothing. In fact, this is so frustrating that it's turned me from a long time lurker to a first time poster. So please be easy on me :)

I can't wait for the first post that reports a successful fix of the MMS issue and detailed instructions how. *shwwing!*
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zeroxg4:
That's odd. You're definitely supposed to have a VZW sim card in there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dnoyeb:
unless you're traveling overseas there is no need.

mine was one of the very first ones offered for a warranty replacement on a fascinate, way back, months before everyone else started doing it.

back then they were offering up only a straight warranty package that didn't even include a battery.. just the phone and the cover.

was told we'd have to call back later and get a sim added to the account but that it it wasn't necessary (which it isn't).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zeroxg4:
I haven't tried it yet as I'm still on CM7, but perhaps it isnt just the radio in the second post thats necessary. Maybe its also the touchpad firmware and that specific version of CWM? but then again I'm just throwing ideas out there

It's so cool and beautiful. But I found 3 problem.

1. Run voice search will be forcibly restart device

2. It includes more languages, but some of them maybe not full support, e.g. Simple Chinese (Camera, and some 3rd software)

3.Not support ##778#

Going through the steps from the other post will break your data along with your soft key lights, so just in case anyone wants to try it. Dont.

Just noticed that voice search is causing the phone to reboot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zeroxg4:
Alright. FWIW, I just came from CM7 and installed fine. My steps were:

Reinstall Radio / TP Firmware / Recovery through zip in 2nd post via bootloader (I had already installed it a while ago, but whatev)

(From CWM Recovery 4.0.0.8 that comes with zip in 2nd post)

Wipe data / cache / dalvik

Install GingerSense Incredibly Debloated

Reboot

Did not set anything up, but allowed to boot completely

ADB reboot recovery

Wipe data / cache / dalvik

Install Virtuous Unity ROM and Patch

Took about 3 mins to boot

Profit

I know some of these steps are probably completely unnecessary, but I just wanted to share what I did to successfully flash this.

I hadn't installed the 3g patch yet so I wasn't able to test that. I could never get it to boot again after that so I am not sure where to go from here. I tried flashing the updates but it still hangs on either the first htc flash or the second one :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] megarek:
Not sure. I stepped away for a bit, and when I came back it was up.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xelsewherex:
Here's updated instructions... Haven't tested yet but should work

just a quick update....

to fix mms

goto the market and download apn backup and restore

Market Link APN B&R

Next create a folder on your sdcard named 'APNBackupRestore' if it doesn't exist already.

Copy this file to there

http://db.tt/9Ao5ErR

(If you aren't doing this on desktop, hit menu now in xda and choose browser. File is an xml and your phone will not know what to do with it. long press the link and use 'save link')

Run APN Backup Restore and press Delete Apns and then Restore from the downloaded file.

You should be good to go from there.

mms should now work and the softkey lights do as well.
